Mixing american toads and leopard frogs?

can I mix American toads and leopard frogs together? and how would I go about making this tank

I ADVISE YOU NOT TO MIX SPECIES! Mixing species is very bad, especially when one species is larger than the other. I have kept both American Toads and Leopard Frogs, and trust me, Leopard Frogs will eat anything. Keep the American toad in a separate tank, at least a 10 gallon, keep the leopard frog in a separate tank, at least a 10 gallon. For a toad you will need at least 3 inches of dirt for them to burrow in. Also, have a shallow water dish. For the leopard frog, have a half land half water setup. Hope this helped.

I have to agree with Alan. Mixing species is not recommended. They carry different secretions meant to protect themselves which can be toxic to other species. Besides, their habitat and husbandry needs are completely different. How about 2 tanks? One tank for each species ? Even more fun in creating 2 vivariums .
